North Korea on Saturday condemned the “aggression movements” of the United States and South Korea, vowing to exact revenge as it marked the 72nd anniversary of the start of the Korean War at a time of rising tension in the region.
Amid concerns that Kim Jong-un’s regime may conduct its first nuclear test in five years, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and US President Joe Biden agreed in May to deploy more US weapons. if necessary.
North Korean state news agency KCNA said on Saturday that several workers’ organizations had held meetings to “swear revenge on the US imperialists”, blaming the United States for the start of the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953.
The war ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty, meaning US-led UN forces are still technically at war with North Korea.
According to KCNA, Pyongyang denounced Washington about what it called “aggressive moves” carried out with South Korea and Japan, and said the US effort to deploy “strategic assets” in the South was aimed at provoking another war.
“Such insolent US behavior increases the anger and revenge of the Korean people,” the agency wrote.
Marking the anniversary of the war in Seoul, Yoon vowed to do his best to protect freedom and peace. “We will maintain a strong security posture based on the South Korea-US alliance and a strong army backed by science and technology,” she wrote on social media.
